High Profile DOJ Alum Push Back At Barr’s Flynn Shenanigans

Just because there is "nothing unusual" about the tactic doesn't mean it wasn't duress.

Why didn't government persecutors just try Gen. Flynn on the charges instead of pushing for a guilty plea, if it was such a slam dunk? Because it wasn't a slam dunk
They had a tape of his conversation with Kislyak. He lied about what was on the tape. How is that not a slam dunk?
The reason he agreed to cooperate with the feds is he likely knew his son was guilty of committing crimes. How else could Flynn Jr be used as leverage?
 
Flynn made a plea, the DOJ didn't prove a dam thing.
Do you understand how batshyte crazy what you just said is? HE WAS ON TAPE. THE FBI HAD THE TAPE. HE LIED ABOUT WHAT HE SAID ON THE TAPE. WAKE THE FUCK UP.


The tape was subject to interpretation, and a lot of experts felt he didn't lie, including people that worked for the Corrupt Comey FBI. Do you think that every one who confessed after being interrogated by the Liberal Beria's secret police was necessarily guilty too? Beria had them on tape too.

That is a lie.

But apparently Flynn didn’t appear flustered or nervous when he lied to the FBI. A partially redacted FBI memo — known as a 302 — states that the FBI agents said Flynn "did not give any indicators of deception." During Michael Flynn’s sentencing phase, the special counsel reiterated the agents’ impression.
This seems to be the basis for Trump’s claim. But Trump’s selective reading gives a false impression itself.
Lawyers for the special counsel’s office said Flynn’s seemingly guileless demeanor did not change the fact that he was lying — which Flynn himself admitted.
"Those misimpressions do not change the fact — as the defendant has admitted in sworn testimony to this District Court — that he was indeed lying, and knowingly made false statements to FBI agents in a national security investigation," they wrote.

 
Barr is working for Trump, not us. Why would you cheer for Barr?

There is no such evidence of a set up. Flynn immediately confessed to lying to the FBI. You are lying.
Amazing what threatening to jail your son if you don't plead guilty can do....


Threatening people's children is the very definition of "duress". If Gen. Flynn did NOT plead guilty after that threat, I would have doubts about his paternity to the junior Flynn.

If Flynn loved his son he wouldn’t have involved him in his shady lobbying scheme.

Dont play the living father card, they both are criminals.

Where is the entrapment? Republicans are having a real problem here in spitting that information out. Crying wolf everytime without showing us the wolf, and you all are just liars.

Unsealed FBI notes reveal the intent of the FBI’s 1/24/17 interview of Flynn:

“What is our goal? Truth/Admission or to get him to lie, so we can prosecute [Flynn] or get him fired?”

FBI Notes confirm it was all a pretext.

Gen. Flynn is a Tremendous American Hero, who we should be thanking for his service, not a "criminal". As far as the son is concerned, he was never charged with anything. Flynn Jr. as innocent as a newborn babe, else the libs would have charged him.

In any event, Flynn is now free to actually testify so that the coup against President Trump can be unveiled. If I were B. Hussein O, I'd be looking for a top lawyer

Yep. So innocent. Which is why he lied to everyone about what he was doing with who and when. That’s how innocent people act.

The younger Flynn saw how shabby the partisan witch hunters were treating his old man, so he said what he thought he had to, in order to keep them at bay. I guess you've never been held hostage by Rapid Dogs.
 
So were to take the word of two people facing criminal prosecution for coercion and fraud on the FISA Court as gospel?

How about 2,000 people?


Nearly 2,000 former Justice Department and FBI officials on Monday signed an open letter strongly critical of Attorney General William Barr's decision to abandon the prosecution of Michael Flynn, calling the action "extraordinarily rare, if not unprecedented."

If anyone else who is not a friend of the president "were to lie to federal investigators in the course of a properly predicated counterintelligence investigation, and admit we did so under oath, we could be prosecuted," the letter said.

The letter calls on Barr to resign and encourages Congress to formally censure Barr over "his repeated assaults on the rule of law in doing the President’s personal bidding rather than acting in the public interest."


Barr should resign, he lacks integrity and is a dirty cop.

I was referring to the elder Flynn as lying to everyone.

The elder Flynn involved his son in their shady lobbying business. If he cared about his son, he wouldn’t have involved him in it.

The elder Flynn lied to everyone. He lied to Pence. He lied to the FBI. He’s still lying.
 
The AG is corrupt. 2000 law enforcement officials are calling on Barr to resign. That's how we know that FBI procedures were followed in accordance to US law.

Yeah, you on the far-left, use this same malarky every time you're desperate. Remember when you (Progressives) used the same scam with "global warming" hoax?

Who are those 2,000 folks that signed an internet poll?

"The highest-ranking signee was Stuart Gerson, who served during the Clinton administration as acting attorney general, NBC News reported."

who cares, really what 2000 pathetic losers think, people who didn't have the right stuff even to be a government employee? Why is someone to be suddenly respected after they get fired for stealing pencils or something from the DOJ?

Is that the best you can do? The group is bipartisan and credentialed.
 
Unsealed FBI notes reveal the intent of the FBI’s 1/24/17 interview of Flynn:

“What is our goal? Truth/Admission or to get him to lie, so we can prosecute [Flynn] or get him fired?”

FBI Notes confirm it was all a pretext.
They confirm nothing of the kind.

The last document in this tranche is a page of handwritten notes, with some redactions, dated Jan. 24; it is not clear whether the notes were written before the Flynn interview was conducted or after it. The writer seems to be sketching out thoughts—it is not clear whose—on how the bureau should navigate the politically tricky investigation, particularly regarding whether or not the FBI should allow Flynn to lie or confront him with evidence of his falsehood. The notes appear to show the writer moving toward the argument that the bureau should take the latter path. “What’s urgent?” the writer asks. “Truth/Admission or to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired?” The notes go on:

  • We regularly show subjects evidence with the goal of getting them to admit their wrongdoing
  • I don’t see how getting someone to admit their wrongdoing is going easy on him
  • If we get him to admit to breaking the Logan Act, give this to DOJ and have them decide
  • Or, if he initially lies, then we present him [redacted] and he admits it, document for DOJ, and let them decide how to address it
  • If we’re seen as playing games, WH [White House] will be furious
  • Protect our institution by not playing games
Flynn’s new lawyers cite these notes, which were presumably written by then-FBI counterintelligence chief Bill Priestap, as supposed smoking-gun evidence that the FBI was seeking to entrap Flynn in a lie. The trouble with that argument is that absolutely nothing forced Flynn not to tell the truth in that interview. And while FBI officials appear to have discussed the strategic purpose of the interview, there’s nothing whatsoever wrong with that. To be sure, a possible criminal prosecution based on the Logan Act case was weak leverage, given that the statute has virtually no history of enforcement, but agents hold relatively weak leverage over witnesses all the time. And yes, it’s wrong for the bureau to set up an interview in the absence of a viable case in order to induce a witness to lie for purposes of prosecution, but there’s no evidence that is what happened—merely evidence that the possibility was on a list of possible strategic goals for the interview. And yes, the bureau will sometimes confront a witness with a lie and specifically warn the person about lying being a felony, but that is not a legal requirement.
 
who cares, really what 2000 pathetic losers think
What makes them pathetic losers? Wait............I know...........they called out Billy the Bagman's duplicity............and by extension Dear Leader. And that's a big no-no.

All patriots and supporters of the Constitution Care; the AG has shit upon the Mission Statement which guides the entire DOJ, including the AG.
